FC Barcelona Signs Jean-Clair Todibo for 19/20 season.

The French player arrives from Toulouse FC on a free transfer and will be a FC Barcelona player from 1 July

The player’s contract with Toulouse FC ends on 30 June this year and so he will join on a free transfer.

Jean-Clair Todibo was born in Cayenne, the capital of French Guyana in South America, on 30 December 1999. The Frenchman played for the FC Les Lilas club at the youth level before joining Toulouse FC in 2016. He made his first team debut at the beginning of the 2018/19 season at the age of just 18 against Girondins Bordeaux in the second game of the Ligue 1 campaign. In total has made 10 appearances for the French club this season, all of them in the starting XI.

Despite operating as a centre back, the youngster has already scored his first goal as a professional. On 30 September he scored a late equaliser in the 1-1 draw away at Rennes. At the international level he has represented France on two occasions at the U-20 level.

Youth and potential for the Barça defence
Todibo is a tall, right-footed defender who can play at centre back and also in the centre of the midfield. At the youth level he often featured in the middle of the field given his ability on the ball.

One of his best qualities is his physical presence and his ability in the air. At just 19 years of age, the young talent comes to FC Barcelona as one of the most promising players in European Football in his position.

I don't know the player, i can't judge him
But with this crazy market (absurd prices), having very good talentscouts is the smart answer.

“I would love to have played at this club. I am envious of how well Guardiola's men can play. They are like a group of kids who play football in the street without rules. That is the best football, the most authentic, unfettered by tactics or schemes. Guardiola’s philosophy is helping to change the mindset of many tacticians and that is priceless.” Marco Van Basten
